Maoists' efforts at garnering international backing pay off

Maoists efforts' at garnering international support for their movement in India seems to have fructified with ideologically similar outfits in different countries extending them support.

Maoists began such attempts in 1995 andMarxist-Leninist-Maoist groups in the Philippines, Turkey, Germany, France, Holland and Italy have started extending, at least ideological backing, to them.

Officially, the Government of India has maintained a studied silence, but the cloak of secrecy was lifted through an innocuous written reply (to question no. 240) given by the Ministry of Home Affairs in the Rajya Sabha in March last. Minister of State for Home Affairs Jitendra Singh candidly confirmed Maoists' international links, disclosing that the CPI (Maoist) has “close links with foreign Maoist organisations in the Philippines and Turkey,” and the ‘so-called' (protracted) people's war being waged by Maoists had also “drawn support form several organisations located in Germany, France, Holland, Turkey and Italy.”

This carefully worded answer may not appear significant, but it lays bare the Maoist strategy of giving an added advantage to the “revolution” that has spread to 182 districts (according to the answer to question no. 217 in the Rajya Sabha in December 2011). Maoist ideologues believe that international support is vital to advancing their revolution to a higher level.

For any revolutionary movement, international support is a crucial factor in sustaining itself. The Maoist movement witnessed a spectacular spatial spread in the last one decade; taking it a step forward at this stage will depend on its ability to remain a political movement working for the benefit of the people, than being branded as a movement relying excessively on violence.

Anticipating that governments could effectively use the techniques of public perception management and project the Maoist movement as a terror outfit, Maoist ideologues have begun serious efforts at portraying the armed struggle as a people's movement. They are aware that they cannot afford to get their movement equated with terrorist outfits, especially in the backdrop of the determination shown by the international community in war against terror. In other words, the ideologues are trying to explain their political goal and make sure that the international community will desist from attacking it.

These efforts, Maoist documents reveal, began in 1996 when Vernon Gonsalves alias Pradeep, a central committee member of the erstwhile CPI-ML People's War (PW) attended the May Day seminar organised in Brussels by the Workers' Party of Belgium (WPB) in 1996. At that meeting, he submitted a paper on the armed struggle in India. Impressed with his talk, WPB chief Bert de Belder visited Nizamabad district, part of a north Telangana guerrilla zone, to study the armed struggle.

The Brussels seminar gave Maoists the much-needed international exposure. Two years on, they came in contact with the Philippines Communist Party at another seminar, also held in Brussels.

In 1998, the Maoist ideologue attended a meeting of Marxistisch Leninistische Partei Deutschlands (MLPD), the Marxist-Leninist party of Germany. In the same year, the party sent a representative to a meeting of the International Association of People's Lawyers (IAPL) in the Netherlands; and by 2001, the PW became a member of the Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), which comprises Marxist-Leninist-Maoist factions and parties in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

After the PW and the MCPI merged to form the CPI (Maoist) in 2004, Kobad Ghandy provided the fillip to these efforts. The Central Committee member is known to have visited Canada and the United Kingdom. Contacts were also made with the Proletarian Party of East Bengal, the Revolutionary Communist Party of the United States, and the Worker's Party of Iran.

As per the documents of the CPI (Maoist), the party has established relations with ideologically similar outfits in 21 countries. These are New Zealand, Peru, Turkey, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Iran, Nepal, the Philippines, the U.S., Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Italy, Tunisia, Colombia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Norway, Canada, the U.K. and Germany. The Maoists have only fraternal relations with the outfits in most of these countries, they got military training from the former LTTE militants from Sri Lanka (stated by the then Home Minister, M.V. Mysoora Reddy, in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly on August 20, 1991).

Two trainers from the Communist Party of the Philippines were believed to have spent a month on the Bihar-Jharkhand borders in 2005 and trained 35 Maoists in combat skills and sharp-shooting. The RPF/PLA of Manipur is believed to be supplying Maoists with arms.

Three tiffin-bombs planted by Maoists seized in Orissa

NUAPADA: Three powerful tiffin bombs planted by suspected Maoists were detected by security personnel engaged in combing operations in Odisha's Naxal-hit Nuapada district.

The personnel from the District Voluntary Force and the elite Special Operation Group were carrying out the operation in the Dharambandha area yesterday when they stumbled upon the explosives buried on the road between Bharuamunda and Lodra, about 20 km from here, SP Umashankar Das said.

"With the timely seizure of the powerful explosives, a major tragedy has been averted," the SP said.

The bomb disposal squad of the police rushed to the area, spotted the bombs, each weighing six kg and kept in separate containers, and successfully defused them, he said.

The Dharmabandha police outpost was in the news recently after its assistant sub-inspector of police Kruparam Majhi was abducted and shot dead by the ultras on May 8.

The combing operation has been intensified in the area after the incident.

Suspected Maoists attack Chhattisgarh minister’s house, kill guard

NEW DELHI: In a brazen attack, suspected Maoist cadres targeted Chhattisgarh women and child welfare minister Lata Usendi's house in Kondagaon, about 220 km from Raipur, on Thursday and killed a policeman on guard.

Around 8 pm, two men came on a motorcycle and fired at Ratanlal Netam (25) of the district police standing guard in front of Usendi's house. They shot the solitary guard from close range, snatched his INSAS rifle and rode away without resistance. Netam was rushed to hospital where he died.

Speaking to TOI, Bastar inspector-general T J Longkumer said, "We suspect a small action team of the Maoists killed him."

Usendi's house is at Kondagaon's Sargipalpara, about 1 km from the nearest police station on the main road, said a source. The minister was not in the house. Her relatives present in the house were not harmed.

The attack on Usendi's house shocked the district administration. Police suspect it is the handiwork of the Maoists' East Bastar Divisional Committee. There has been a spate of killings and abduction in Chhattisgarh recently.

"With recent killings, Maoists have shown they have the capability to strike anywhere in Chhattisgarh," said a counter-insurgency expert. Usendi's house is in urban area.

On May 13, Maoists killed seven people, including six CISF jawans, within the NMDC mining complex at Kirandul in Dantewada, about 1km from company headquarters of the CISF.

A day before releasing abducted Sukma district magistrate Alex Paul Menon on May 3, Maoists killed two policemen and injured four others while firing indiscriminately on a police patrol at a weekly market in Dantewada's Bacheli.

The sudden spurt of Maoist violence is believed to be part of a Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign (TCOC) by the Maoists which translates to 'escalation of violence'. TCOC is conducted twice a year - once in April-May and again in December-January. This year, the Maoists launched the TCOC early, in March.

The bandh has hit the normal life in interior parts of restive Bastar region. A top police officer in the state PHQ said: "The Chhattisgarh government has beefed up security to scuttle naxal bandh".

IED blast on IB at Samba, Kashmir:

JAMMU, May 18: The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in a patrol vehicle had a narrow escape when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) went off seconds after their vehicles crossed over the International Border at forward area of Mangu Chak in Samba sector this morning.

Planted by the militants, the IED reported to have been detonated by a remote control device, official sources said.

They said the site of blast was close to SM Khwara Post of Mangu Chak forward area where a group of five to six militants had tried to infiltrate into Indian territory on the night of Monday. The BSF had foiled the intrusion bid.

Sources said the IED was of very low intensity and wouldn't have caused much damage. It was, however, aimed at disrupting the flood lighting work being carried out on the International Border as it would block all possibilities of infiltration attempts by the militants.

``It was a chance that a BSF vehicle passed from near the site few second before the blast'', sources said, adding the militants camping across the International Border and the Rangers were deeply frustrate over their miserable failure to push militants into this side in view of high alert maintained by the BSF jawans.

According to sources, on Monday night when the intrusion bid was foiled by the BSF jawans with retaliatory firing on the ultras, at least two intruders had been injured. The BSF jawans had seen through their Night Vision Devices the militants being carried on shoulders by their four fleeing associates.

The intercepts revealed that one of the injured militant appeared to have died on other side of the border.

To take revenge of the killing, the militants with the help of Rangers appeared to have planted a low intensity IED on this side of the border either to cause casualties among the security personnel or create panic among the workers engaged in flood lighting work. However, the militants failed in their designs, sources said, adding the BSF officers and jawans conducted searches in the area after the blast and recovered one detonator, one battery cell and some plastic material indicating that the IED had been fabricated there.

The material was recovered between Pillar Nos. 144 and 145.

The Bomb Disposal Squad and BSF jawans of 182 battalion conducted searches in the area but didn't find any other IED or signs of movement of the militants. The BSF jawans have been maintaining a high alert in the area anticipating that the ultras could make a fresh intrusion bid from other side of the border.

Meanwhile, BSF jawans and Rangers held a flag meeting Chamliyal forward area in Ramgarh sector of Samba district for half an hour this morning as the BSF wanted to remove `sarkanda' from near the IB in preparations of upcoming Baba Chamliyal mela.

The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere, sources said, adding the BSF would shortly start preparations for the mela along with civil and police administration.

GNLA kills villager for extortion in Meghalaya

Shillong, May 18: The GNLA has killed a villager from South Garo Hills for extorting money in the name of the outfit, after a lull following public protest against frequent bandhs by the militant outfit.

According to the police, the incident took place on Wednesday night after the militants kidnapped him.

The body of the villager was recovered with bullet marks from Silkigre village in Chokpot, South Garo Hills.

The militants, who executed the villager, left a note identifying the victim as Gobin Sangma and said he had resorted to extortion in the name of the outfit.

GNLA leader Jack Marak, who is looking after the affairs of GNLA in Chokpot, South Garo Hills, signed the letter.

The body of the villager is yet to be claimed by anyone in Chokpot. Police visited the area to establish his true identity.

Several villagers were executed by the GNLA in the past on the allegation that they were either extortionists or police informers.

However, the police consider this a ploy of the militant outfit to strike terror into the minds of the people, especially the villagers, to enlist support.

“On the run from the anti-insurgency operations of the security forces, the GNLA is terrorising villagers to get support so that they can carry out their criminal activities, a senior police official said.

Naxals abduct 100 villagers in Chhattisgarh

Armed Maoists today abducted about 100 villagers, including women and children, from Sukma District's Dubbatopa and released them after they pledged to neither join the security forces nor extend any cooperation to police. Police said about 150 rebels stormed the village this morning and took the residents on tractor-trolleys to the nearby forest on the pretext of holding a meeting. The villagers were grilled by ultra leaders to find out if any of them had any link with security personnel. After nearly six hours of detention, the tribal villagers were freed with a stern warning against violation of the outlaws' order.
